Incidental patent foramen ovale detected by 64-detector row CT before radiofrequency ablation therapy

Panel A in axial section demonstrates a subtle flush of contrast in the RA at the interatrial septum; coronal and oblique reformations confirm a small jet of contrast from the left atrium (LA) to the RA (panels B and C, respectively) through a small PFO flap valve (black arrowhead); panel D helps to...

Zusammenfassung:	Panel A in axial section demonstrates a subtle flush of contrast in the RA at the interatrial septum; coronal and oblique reformations confirm a small jet of contrast from the left atrium (LA) to the RA (panels B and C, respectively) through a small PFO flap valve (black arrowhead); panel D helps to illustrate the PFO (white arrowhead) using the "Cardiac Transparency" tool (GE Healthcare Technologies, Waukesha, USA).
